The nasal bones by virtue of their shape, angulation and size provide an aesthetic and pleasing contour of the upper nose. The anatomy of the nasal bones can get deformed in many situations like congenital anomalies, iatrogenic and post-traumatic situations leading to nasal deformity. Many options for reconstruction of nasal dorsum are available including soft tissue and bony material. It is always desirable to reconstruct like tissue with like tissue. This paper describes the use of a cored out tent shaped fibular graft for total reconstruction of the bony nose dorsum.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A bony defect-appropriate full thickness segment of the fibula was harvested. This was contoured and cored out to mimic the appearance and angulation of the bilateral articulated nasal bones. The bone graft extends from the radix to the upper part of the lateral cartilage. This graft was inserted into a pocket created under the nasal dorsum to recreate the normal appearance and slope of the nose. The graft if needed may be fixed to the underlying bone using a screw.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 20 patients with total destruction of the bony nasal vault were operated using this technique from 2017 to 2021. The average dimensions of a fibular graft are a length of 4.5 cm, a width of 12 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. Only 4 out of 20 patients required fixation with a screw. All patients reported significant improvement in the appearance and profile of their nose after surgery. The visual analogue scale revealed a Gaussian normal distribution curve (range, 0.5 to 10) with a significant improvement and p value <0.05. There has been an improvement in the mean nasofrontal and nasofacial angles postoperatively. The complications have been minimal and temporary.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The specially contoured fibular bone graft most closely mimics the natural shape and contour of the nasal bones and hence gives satisfactory results with minimal intraoperative manoeuvring and sculpturing and has natural stability owing to the unique shape that often obviates the need of fixation to the underlying skeleton. This type of graft is suitable in cases where total nasal reconstruction of the bony dorsum is desired.</p><p><strong>Level of evidence iii: </strong>This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

However, patient comfort level and preference for telemedicine visits in the aesthetic surgery perioperative period remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate patient comfort and preferences regarding perioperative telemedicine visits for aesthetic surgery.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>An IRB-approved cross-sectional survey was conducted in January 2022 on Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk) platform to assess respondents' comfort and preferences regarding periprocedural telemedicine visits. Survey responses were compared using descriptive and multivariate analyses.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 505 participants (54% male, 46% female; mean age 37.7±11.5 years) completed the survey. The majority of respondents reported feeling either very or somewhat comfortable having their initial consult via telemedicine for both aesthetic surgery (72%) and non-surgical aesthetic procedures (74%). Respondents were most comfortable having an initial telemedicine consult for head and neck procedures, and least comfortable having telemedicine consults for sensitive areas, including the breast and buttocks. Respondents were significantly more comfortable scheduling non-surgical procedures than surgical procedures after a telemedicine consult alone (65% vs 58%; p < 0.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our data suggests that the majority of aesthetic surgery patients are comfortable with having initial consultations via telemedicine. Particularly in young patients seeking non-surgical aesthetic procedures, telemedicine consults alone may be substituted for in-office visits prior to procedural scheduling. However, for operations and procedures requiring physical examination of sensitive areas, including the breasts and gluteal regions, in-person visits remain the preferred modality.</p><p><strong>Level of evidence iii: </strong>This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Preoperative (T0), 1 week postoperatively (T1), and 6 months postoperatively (T2) CT scans and vital signs after oral intubation (S0), before reconnection of the submandibular tracheal catheter (S1), and after reconnection (S2) were collected from 54 patients who received nasal intubation (Group I) and submandibular intubation (Group II). The results were evaluated using 3D reconstruction and analysis in Mimics. During the follow-up, all patients demonstrated satisfactory facial shape and stable occlusion and no significant complications were observed. In Group II, maxillary operation duration and blood loss were significantly reduced (P < 0.001), and nasal septum deviation was distinctly improved (P < 0.001). Both groups exhibited increased nasal alar width, but Group I particularly females showed greater changes (P < 0.05). Only 2 patients (6%) in Group II developed hypertrophic scars 6 months postoperatively. This study demonstrates that submandibular intubation anesthesia represents a straightforward, safe and less complicated technique in orthognathic surgery for CLP patients. Nevertheless, this method should be carefully chosen for patients with scar constitution. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
